Nerriga Outside Broadcast
Written by Gordon Waters on August 29, 2023
What an incredible day at Nerriga Hotel! We can’t thank everyone enough for supporting our Camp Oven Cook Off fundraiser for Black Dog Institute.
We are thrilled to announce how much money our small community has managed to raise but first up we ought to thank so many people! Don’t scroll down, take the time to read and acknowledge the efforts of all these wonderful people without whom the day would not have happened!!
A huge shout out to all the competing teams who practiced so hard in the lead up to the event and cooked up a storm on the day for everyone to enjoy. Without you guys, there would not have been an event!
Massive thanks to all our community who helped on the day, we would not have been able to pull it off without your precious help.
Our food suppliers have been incredibly generous helping us source all the ingredients: Nowra Farmers Market, V&C Foods and East Nowra Bakery.
All the businesses and individuals who have so kindly donated items for the auction and the raffle, what an incredible prize pool you created! We sold so many raffle tickets and the crowd went wild bidding at the auction!
A big thank you to QPRC Rural Support, Anglicare and Sydney City Liquor Accord for their financial support helping create this event.
A big thank you to Braidwood FM who helped us spread the word about the day and organised a live broadcast from the pub!
And finally a huge thank you to everyone who showed up on the day, ate lots of food, bought lots of raffle tickets, took a guess in the jelly bean competition and bid at the auction! We hope you all had a great day and we thank you all for helping us raise funds for Black Dog Institute.
And now for the answer everyone has been waiting for, there were 1,656 jelly beans in the jar!! All jokes aside, we are so excited to let you know we have raised an incredible $14,132 for Black Dog Institute!! Thank you all SO MUCH! We could not be happier with the result of the day!!!
